A 83.0 kg ice hockey player hits a 0.150 kg puck, giving the puck a velocity of 34.0 m/s. If both are initially at rest and if the ice is frictionless, how far (in m) does the player recoil in the time it takes the puck to reach the goal 21.0 m away?

A 83.0 kg ice hockey player hits a 0.150 kg puck, giving the puck a velocity of 34.0 m/s. If both are initially at rest and if the ice is frictionless, how far (in m) does the player recoil in the time it takes the puck to reach the goal 21.0 m away? (Enter the magnitude.)

Solution:
By momentum convervation ( f n e t = 0  in  x d i r )
P i = P f
0 = 83 × v ( speed of player ) + 0.150 × 34
v=-0.0614 m/s
-ve means opposite of ball which makes sense
time taken by puck(t) = distance speed
t = 21.0 34.0
t=0.6176 s
distance covered by player in same time-interval(d)= speed \times time
d = 0.0614 × 0.6176
d=0.0379 m
